Here, the number is "POPCORN" (767-2676, although 767-XXXX works).
It's treated as a local (Zone 1) call from anywhere that it works.  (I
don't know its geographical range.)  It's also time only, but it's a
"beep, beep, beep, beep, at the tone, 10:53:50, BEEP, beep..."
system, and with NO ADVERTISING!
